Kenny Jackett: Two points dropped for Portsmouth against Peterborough
and live on Freeview channel 276
The spirited Blues fought back from after 10 minutes to Ivan Toney to put themselves into a winning position this afternoon.
Lee Brown levelled with his first goal for the club and then Ellis Harrison netted on 52 minutes, which for a sizeable period appeared it would be the winner.

And Jackett felt his side should have been celebrating victory at the final whistle rather than a credible draw against the third-placed Posh.
He said: ‘I’ve mixed emotions. I did feel we took the game to Peterborough and had the majority of it.
‘We generally kept their front two quiet, but then they got a goal apiece. I cannot think of another chance they created other than that, but they’ve got those moments and their front line is excellent.

‘We conceded two poor goals. I understand Peterborough have the forwards and don’t miss many, but, from our point of view, it was a spirited performance, we had good tempo to the match, took the game to the opposition and had a couple of big chances in the second half.
‘There were big opportunities in the game we didn't take and, ultimately, Peterborough got the goal back – and a point.’
